HL Deb 03 November 1999 vol 606 c93WA
The Countess, of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect the revised Health and Safety Executive form MS17 to be published; and to whom it will be distributed. [HL4405]

Lord Whitty

Guidance Note MS17, retitledMedical Aspects of Work Related Exposures to Organophosphates, will be finalised following publication of the Committee on Toxicity report into organophosphates. It is anticipated that the revised MS17 will be published during March 2000.

Discussion is currently underway with other government departments as to the most appropriate way to ensure that the publication of MS17 and its content reach the defined target audience, namely health professionals involved in the surveillance of workers who use organophosphate compounds.
